Why are H-rated tires more expensive than V-rated ones?

2 Answers

Tire H represents the maximum speed of the tire under specified load conditions at 210 km/h, while V represents the maximum speed under specified load conditions at 240 km/h. The speed rating of V is significantly higher than that of H, which means the design and material requirements for V-rated tires are higher than those for H-rated ones. For tires of the same brand and size specifications, V-rated tires are more durable than H-rated ones, and naturally, V-rated tires are also more expensive than H-rated ones. Below is some related information about tire ratings: 1. Tread pattern: H-rated tires generally feature a serrated tread pattern, which improves the smoothness and reliability of vehicle operation. 2. Durability: Since tires are rubber products, their load-bearing capacity gradually weakens with increased usage over time. Additionally, as tires come into contact with the ground, the rise in road temperature and the heat generated during rolling due to compression and deformation significantly reduce the tire's maximum speed. Therefore, V-rated tires are more durable than H-rated ones.

Last time I went to change tires, I found that the H-rated version of the same tire model was actually more expensive than the V-rated one, which really puzzled me. As a veteran driver with over 20 years of experience, I suspect the reason might be that H-rated tires are more durable under certain road conditions, especially on wet or winter roads. Manufacturers probably reinforce the materials to improve traction, which drives up costs. Additionally, market demand plays a key role—I've checked some data, and H-rated tires are produced in smaller quantities. Some brands specialize in them for regular sedans, while V-rated tires target sports cars and benefit from mass production discounts. Ultimately, I think tire pricing isn't just about speed ratings. H-rated tires might incorporate extra low rolling resistance technology to save fuel costs, which could justify the premium. Next time before changing tires, I plan to compare prices more thoroughly rather than focusing solely on the rating.

When will China III trucks be mandatorily scrapped?

China III trucks have a mandatory scrapping period of 15 years. According to the national vehicle scrapping standards, light and heavy trucks have a mandatory scrapping period of 10 years, with a maximum extension of 5 years. As per regulations, registered motor vehicles will also be scrapped under the following circumstances: 1. Vehicles that, after repair and adjustment, still fail to meet the national safety technical standards for in-use vehicles; 2. Vehicles that fail to obtain the motor vehicle inspection qualification mark for three consecutive inspection cycles after the expiration of the inspection validity period; 3. Vehicles that, after repair, adjustment, or the adoption of control technology, still fail to meet national standards for in-use vehicles regarding atmospheric pollutant emissions or noise, such as China III trucks with non-compliant exhaust emissions.

What are the restricted hours for out-of-town license plates on Shanghai elevated roads in 2020?

2020 Shanghai out-of-town license plate elevated road restrictions are in effect from Monday to Friday, 7:00 AM to 10:00 AM and 3:00 PM to 8:00 PM, with no restrictions on national statutory holidays. Driving motor vehicles on Shanghai's Middle Ring Road during restricted hours constitutes a violation of the law and will be subject to penalties. Important notes about the restrictions: 1. Vehicles with restricted license plate endings may proceed straight through intersections with restricted roads but are not permitted to turn left or right onto restricted roads; 2. In emergency situations such as medical transport, drivers may seek assistance from traffic police officers at intersections; 3. During restricted hours, dedicated bus lanes will remain on the Second Ring Road, accessible only to public buses, registered school buses, and authorized company vehicles - restricted vehicles are not allowed to use these lanes.

How long does it take to receive a text notification for a traffic violation?

Generally, you will receive a text notification for a traffic violation within about 13 days. According to the "Procedures for Handling Road Traffic Safety Violations": within 10 days from the date the traffic monitoring equipment collects the violation records, the traffic management department of the public security organ at the location where the violation occurred should review the recorded content. After verification, the information will be entered into the road traffic violation information management system as evidence of the violation. Once the violation is confirmed, it should be processed within the time specified in the text notification. If no specific time is mentioned, it should be handled before the end of the scoring cycle. For violations with fines not exceeding 12 points, you can handle them directly on the traffic management website or the 12123 APP. For other violations, you need to go to the vehicle management office.

What does a parent-child parking space mean?

Parent-child parking space refers to a parking space that can accommodate two cars but is sold as one parking space or issued with one property right certificate. Typically, it is counted as two parking spaces during planning, but only allows for front-to-back parking. In reality, the term 'parent-child parking space' is a sales term and has little to do with current laws and regulations. Generally, it is divided into two types: flat parking spaces and mechanical parking spaces. Parent-child parking spaces can lead to two issues: one is whether the parking service fee is charged for one car or two cars during payment; the other is that many parent-child parking spaces exceed their original length after parking two cars, making it difficult for other vehicles to enter or exit smoothly.

What are the methods for checking car electrical leakage?

There are two methods for checking car electrical leakage: current detection method and empirical detection method. The specific methods are as follows: Current detection method: Detection steps. Turn off the ignition switch, remove the negative terminal of the battery, set the digital multimeter to the ammeter (1A range), and then take two wires. Connect one end of each wire to the positive and negative probes of the multimeter, and the other ends to the negative terminal and the negative wire respectively. Observe the ammeter reading. Compare the measured current value with the maintenance data to see if it is within the normal range. If the measured current value is too high, it indicates that the vehicle has an electrical leakage fault; Empirical detection method: Detection steps. Turn off the ignition switch, remove the negative terminal of the battery, and then touch the wire to the negative terminal of the battery to observe the strength of the spark. The stronger the spark, the more severe the electrical leakage. Detection precautions: Because modern car electronic control technology is relatively mature and involves the memory function of electronic control units to maintain data, there will be a small current supply to maintain the work of the electronic control unit after parking and turning off the ignition switch. Therefore, a small current is normal. Different brands of vehicles vary, but generally speaking, the more electrical devices there are, the greater the current will be. As long as it is within the current value range specified by the manufacturer, it can be considered normal; Some mid-to-high-end cars now have an audio locking function. Therefore, without the relevant setting equipment and unlock password, do not easily remove the battery terminal; The empirical detection method is not suitable for checking all electrical leakage faults and can only roughly detect general electrical leakage faults. Therefore, it is best to use instruments and equipment to handle such faults; During the inspection, be sure to check whether the battery itself has a self-discharge phenomenon.
